danelle Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Any suggestions on a good protein drink that doesn't have lots of sugar in it or artificial sweetner? I have been having to drink slimfast to get some protein because I haven't been able to eeat very well lately(nausea, swallowing problems,etc) I enjoy the taste of slimfast but it has so much sugar that i find that my bloodsugar is bottoming out a few hours after I drink one. I tried their high protein drink but they are sweetened with nutrasweet or something and they are nasty. I don't care for artificial sweetners, most give me a headache.one more questions-does anyone else have problems with trying to choke and "forgetting" how to swallow? This has been happening alot lately. Weird huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briarrose Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Go to this web pagehttp://www.rei.com/online/store/Search?vca...ery=accelerade#on this page above the drinks listed is a weblink "comparison search" this will list out all the sports drinks and their contents. My doctor recommends accelerade like Lance Armstrong drinks. This is also a website from REI, so you don't have to buy anything, but it is the best comparison chart that I have found so I use their website.

Roy Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 My favorite place for protein is the Protein Factory. Their prices are some of the best that I have been able to find and they fill your order to your own specifications. You can add flavorings, sweetners or even vitamins or you can order it plain. http://proteinfactory.com/store/default.ph...php?cPath=22_28I use to choke alot when my POTS first started. I use to get it every day while eating, drinking or it would just happen out of the blue. My throat would just start spasm. I don't get too often anymore, but it sure is scary when it happens.

Kimberley Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 Actually, Slim Fast makes a Soy Protein Mix, You do not have to mix with milk, Water and Ice. It is very good in Mocha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldicedance Posted July 3, 2004 Report Share Posted July 3, 2004 My husband had gstric bypass surgery last fall. He drinks 2 shakes a day. They need to be low in sugar and high in protein. They need to be made of whey protein. The nutrionist says that soy protein drinks can be harmful. Soy food is ok but soy protein may not be good.He likes ISOPURE. He buys COSTCO's store brand in chocolate and likes that and the price is pretty good. He also uses Dr. Adkins protein shakes when he goes out.Feel better!
